Off-road bikers in Barnsley to be targeted under new council and police partnership

Off-road bikers causing trouble in a Barnsley community will continue to be targeted under a new partnership between Barnsley Council and South Yorkshire Police.

The two organisations are working together on the issue, with enforcement against illegal off-road riding set to carry on.

Barnsley Council has previously worked alongside South Yorkshire Police and partner agencies on Operation Duxford, a coordinated day of action targeting environmental crime, antisocial behaviour and exploitation.

Antisocial behaviour, including off-road biking and rowdy behaviour, has been among the issues raised by residents in parts of the borough.
